You can put this solution on YOUR website! The equation is in standard form, so any line in the plane parallel to it is of the form and sort, 2x+5y-d=0, and d depends on a point of the line, any point. We were given the point, (0,-3).
----Solve for d;
----Substitute the coordinates of the point contained;
----Compute the value of d.
------------------------------
Note, that the standard form equation as given indicates that slope is . Lines which have equal slopes in the plane are parallel.
